Dr Sabian Blake astronomer, scientist, and master of the Kabbalah is in possession of the Nemorensis, an ancient leather-bound book which holds the secrets of the universe. Leafing through it one night, he reads a mysterious inscription in the margin: Wormwood the bright star shall fall from the sky and many will die from its bitterness. Deciphering this prophecy could prove the key to saving London from a catastrophic fate. But there are others interested in the Nemorensis too for more sinister reasons. Blake and his serving maid Agetta Lamian soon become enmeshed in a web of sorcery, as agents of both good and evil battle to possess the book and gain its power. They will face great danger, and must decide who to trust for the wrong decision could cost them their souls...","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49596638920977,"sku":"GOR005954163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0563524057.jpg?v=1750976422"},{"product_id":"shadowmancer-book-graham-p-taylor-9781591856139","title":"Shadowmancer","description":"\u003cp\u003e​\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BEST SELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This novel, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShadowmancer\u003c\/i\u003e, reached #1 on the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Sellers List in 2004\u003c\/b\u003e and has been translated into 48 languages.

Taylor's suspenseful, action-packed fantasy. The story, set in the 1700s on the Yorkshire coastline, revolves around Vicar Obadiah Demurral, a corrupt-but-inept, dead-conjuring shadowmancer who desires to control the universe by overthrowing God, or Riathamus. When two hard-luck near-orphans, (13-year-old Thomas Barrick, a bitter enemy of Demurral, and his troubled friend Kate Coglund) band together with a young African stranger named Raphah, they spend the rest of the book trying to stop the wicked Vicar as if their very souls are at stake...they are. Along the way, the three youths meet an enormous cast of friends and foes, some agents of Riathamus, others of Satan (Pyratheon), and some godless (but not for long) smugglers like Jacob Crane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders who love fanciful storybook characters will find mermaidlike Seloth, smelly hobs, leg-dragging servants, goodhearted whores, and benevolent boggles. Age-old superstitions abound, though old magic and witchcraft are clearly denounced here as the work of the devil. Indeed, the author, an English vicar himself, tells a very Christian story and his often deliciously dramatic adventure lapses into stiffly presented glowing-halo Touched by an Angel moments(readers will be lured into the Enchanted Forest, but tricked into Sunday school). Nonetheless, Shadowmancer, the first of a series, is a pageturner bursting with magic and myth, and will appeal to fantasy lovers who don't mind the Bible mixed in with their boggles.
